Neopets: The Darkest Faerie was my childhood and one of my favorites. I remember always playing it constantly all the time back when it was first released. I love the story and the characters, especially the main protagonists (Tormund and Roberta).
This game is a core part of my childhood, and I always find myself revisiting it in some format every so often. Either listening to the OST, watching the old SMV clips, or even just digging out the PS2 just to replay this game. It's simple and buggy, but it still has a lot of heart in it from back in the day when Neopets actually cared about their IP. I hope that GOG is able to get enough votes to preserve this niche, but extremely enjoyable game 💜
Neopets was a big part of my childhood and I never got to try it because I didn't own a PS2 as a child. Something I would love to finally visit after nearly 20 years.
I never got to play this as a kid, and as a huge Neopets nerd who would have loved this game, I'm still upset about it. Please give me the chance to do so, especially since I'm once again hyperfixating on Neopets
Banger soundtrack--a lot of people don't know the Mass Effect composer worked on these tracks and they're as wonderful as you'd expect. Neopia is an iconic world for a lot of 90's/2000's kids, but Neopets was flash-based with big birds-eye-view maps; being able to actually run around the Neopian landscape in an action RPG was wonderful. It deserves some love and bugfixes.
This was one of my first PS2 games! Some of my favorite memories are of my sister and I playing for hours and swapping the controller depending on the character needed. She always played Roberta and I was always Tor! By far one of the best ways Neopets was brought off the internet!
I had to rent the game from a video store way back in the day because none of the stores around were selling it. Absolutely fun game. So much nostalgia associated with Neopets.
This is easily one of my favourite games of my childhood, and is probably one, if not, my most played PS2 game. I still remember how scratched the disc was after playing it so much hahaha. It's not particularly an amazing game, but it's such a fun and nostalgic game for me and many others. It just oozes charm, and has a lot of interesting ideas in it.
It's essentially a very Legend of Zelda - esque kind of game, but not quite as good. However, it's definitely worth playing. The characters were very memorable, the soundtrack, the story, interesting puzzles, and surprisingly half decent voice-acting. Keep in mind though - this game's controls/combat is very, very clunky. Once you get used to it, it's manageable, but it's incredibly clunky and doesn't have too much depth to it.
The main challenge for this game would be the bugs and maybe porting. This game has a ton of bugs, some rendering you unable to complete certain side quests and content, audio, glitches, etc. The worst bug, in my opinion, is the audio bug where if you play the game for over a certain amount of time in a single sitting, the sound effects and music just stops, for whatever reason. It forces you to restart the game each time to get the sound back, and just kills the immersion.
I really hope GOG considers preserving this game, as it is a very fun game, and I could see a lot of people wanting to play this or giving it a try.

Pac-Man World 2Long ago, back in medieval times, an evil spirit known as Spooky had terrorized all of Pac-Land. In response to this, the great Wizard Pac created a potion that turned 5 ordinary fruit into the "Golden Fruit." A young knight called Sir Pac-alot fought and sealed Spooky underneath a large tree using the Golden Fruit, which were attached to the branches of the tree. In the present time late at night, Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde sneak into the village and, in their mischief, pick the Golden Fruit off the tree in the center of town. Unfortunately, this has released Spooky from his prison. Spooky tells the ghosts to take the Golden Fruit and follow him if they wish to rid the land of the Pac-people forever. When Pac-Man awakes, he hears the news from Professor Pac about the Golden Fruit and Spooky, and sets off to defeat the ghosts and Spooky.Action
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
